I actually agree with this.aurynn wrote:On Maxwells post:
Is it just me or is anyone else thinking that the state of the Elves at the end of the Khaine book is not the final one? Moving all remaining Elves to the Old World is a very big thing in my opinion and we will see much more happening there. Its all really starting to look like the means to an end and that the plots and twists will not end by this resettlement.
Firstly, I'll state whilst I haven't read the book yet, from what I've seen the writing is horrendous and the direction GW has gone with this is mind boggling. There was SO much more potential.
However, at the same time, I don't think the Elves are done yet. It may say they have no future, but I think 9th edition will show a different story. We're in the apocalypse now and everything appears bleak.
I think by the end of the End Times, Malekith will be dead (and needs to be). Alarielle, Nagash and every other one of the "Chosen Eight" probably will be killed off too. Some major characters might survive, but I think it will be few and far between. Archaon will die. I think Teclis will die too.
Hell, when the End Times are finished, some or all of the Chaos Gods themselves may be dead.
GW is planning to start anew with 9th edition I think. Everything will be scaled back in power and possibly in time too..GW aren't about to obsolete all their miniatures.
